How to get there

Zh. There are three stations in the city, but pay attention to Balashov Passenger Station - it's on it that you need to get out to get into the city. Until recently, the station was not in demand, and the tunnel under the roads was gradually covered with grass and beer bottles, but now all passenger trains stop right here.

Direct communication with the city is from Saratov, and from Moscow, as well as from Volgograd, Voronezh and other large cities.

In the summer of 1917, here, to Balashov, Boris Pasternak went to his beloved Elena Vinograd. It was to this city that several of his works were dedicated, including the same poem "Balashov."

How to navigate

Balashov was founded at the end of the 18th century as a farm by Vasily Balashko. The future founder of the city managed to choose a very picturesque place - on the left bank of the river. Hopper, which is the longest and deepest tributary of the Don. In translation into Russian, "Khoper" is the refuge of wild geese; since ancient times the local area was famous for its game, fish stocks and watermelons, which are even imprinted on the city's coat of arms.

The city is located on a high plateau . There are numerous ravines between the river and the city, and on the right bank there are forest tracts . The river divides the city into maidens unequal parts - in one of them there are mostly single-storey private houses, and therefore this part of Balashov outwardly differs little from the Central Russian village . The second part is mostly 2-3 storey houses of panel or brick type . Ok There is a military airdrome at Balashov, so it should not be surprising if the Mi-24 or a strategic fighter-bomber decides to greet the guests flying over them in a flying flight .
